Re: [India_Vision_2020] Human Rights day - Why Human Rights evangelists do not raise their voice against terrorism

I fully agree with Srinivasan on the role of human rights commission.  In this connection, press too is to be blamed, at least the elite English dailies (like The Hindu).  Even if a Human Rights Commission members speaks or the local branch of a HR forum convenes a meeting (against the police 'atrocities' or the 'excesses' committed by the law enforcement agencies, which may not be acutally excesses or atrocities) that becomes a good news and is given publicity, even if the meeting is attended by hardly less than 50 people especially the 'self-proclaimed intellectuals'.   Noted journalists and critics like Cho Ramaswamy, Gurumurthy, Era Chezhian have already spoken about such dubious role of the HR Commission.    V Rajendran --- On Wed, 12/10/08, krishna rawat <kpsr_2004@yahoo.com> wrote: From: krishna rawat <kpsr_2004@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [India_Vision_2020] Human Rights day - Why Human Rights evangelists do not raise their voice against terrorism To: India_Vision_2020@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 7:06 PM Absolutely agree with you Mr. Srinivas. Humanrights groups are fast asleep today in this tragedy, while they made a huge cry ( Tista Shitalwad and others ) when we were about to hang Afazal Guru, who masterminded Delhi parliament attacks ( because of them he is still alive today ).   I have not seen any humanright NGO fighting for a right cause and a right person, I think in their openion only criminals and terrorists have human rights and not innocent people. --- On Wed, 12/10/08, Prime Point Srinivasan <prpoint@gmail. com> wrote: From: Prime Point Srinivasan <prpoint@gmail. com> Subject: [India_Vision_ 2020] Human Rights day - Why Human Rights evangelists do not raise their voice against terrorism To: "India Vision group" <India_Vision_ 2020@yahoogroups .com> Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 4:36 PM dear friends Today (10th Dec)  is the Human Rights Day, observed in all the countries.  One thing, i am not able to understand is as to why the Human Rights evangelists do not raise their voice against the terrorists, who violate the human rights by killing innocent people. At the same time, many of the Human Rights organisations raised their voice while forest brigand veerappan was shot dead by the Police.  They made big hue and cry and they did not talk about the people killed by Veerappan. In another recent instance, there was a big campaign from the Human Rights activists to reduce the punishment to Nalini, assassin of Rajiv Gandhi, giving the reason that she had a daughter.  But they did not raise their voice against the LTTE, who killed more than 20 people (police officials and innocent party workers) along with Rajiv Gandhi.  Don't they think that the victims of such terrorism have also family members. It is sad, that none of the Human Rights associations have condemned the Mumbai terror attack.  Probably, they are waiting to give statement in favour of the arrested terrorist, for providing 5 star hotel food, air conditioned jail, etc.  They are more seen as supporters of wrong doers, including terrorists.  I may be wrong.  this is the general perception of the many citizens. Can any of the Human Rights evangelists in this group set right the perception.  Srinivasan Moderator
